Prioritize:
Just how beautifully colorful this film is is a feast for the eyes. Indeed, it's primarily the eyes that are utilized while watching this film. While it's visually picturesque, it doesn't particularly stand out in terms of sound, and it's indeed the visual impression that will linger with you, even with the last scene. Beautiful, humorous, and tragic without any of those aspects nullifying each other's impact.
